According to multiple sources close to Ken Rosenthal of FOXSports, the Texas Rangers have agreed to a one year deal with outfielder Lance Berkman. The deal is pending physical. Jon Heyman of CBSSports adds that the deal is for 10$ million and that includes a vesting option with a $1 million buyout.
The 36-year old Berkman hit .259/.381/.444 with 2 HR's, 7 RBI's and a .354 wOBA in 97 plate appearances for the Cardinals in 2012. He was limited to only 32 games in 2012 due to injuries. He even considered retirement during the season after injuring his knee.
